Exactly. The straight line top tips( \ ) are supposed to face forward. But whatever.....

Need more details on this please.
The skid plate is just 18 gauge aluminum, bent on the sides and fastened with the stock hardware on the jack. The bigger footprint that the plate adds should allow the jack to be used on sand/gravel/dirt without it 'sinking'
This is from R1's page and same as what Chris recommended.
Which rotor is considered Left or Right side? | eBay
The vanes go WITH direction, not against it.

Chris told me they were supposed to draw the fresh in to the center of the hub - the top tips face forward. But we also discussed the fact that it probably doesn't make any difference as we aren't race trucks. He said he mounted a set on his wife's vehicle and they have never had an issue. So I guess as long as you don't drive any harder than Chris' wife, you should be ok......LOL
It's funny, though, if you search drilled and slotted rotors and go to the images, they are shown installed in various ways. Front and back. So maybe there really isn't a 'correct' position. I can see them working in either configuration......

eBay quote on same page:
"Picture shown is with the hub facing up. Some people like to install them in the opposite side and that is fine too. It's personal preference. One thing we do recommend when installing new brake rotors is to use new brake pads. Using old pads might warp your rotors due to uneven wear on the pads."
Hahahahahaha......
Regardless, your new brake lines look really good. Did you go with new hard lines as well? They look really clean. Get ready to start seeing all the Red covering to start coming off. I think mine lasted about 500 miles during Snoball. I thought my brake lines were coming apart! When it does start coming off, just strip it all off - it looks killer plain SS.
THanks. Just what came in the kit from the group buy. They should ,watch my red shock that'll be here soon.
Here is an image of mine. Rear tires off the ground.
Noticed the spare is installed with the finished side facing out. Is that just for pressure monitoring convenience?

That's correct.

You've never used your spare? Rotate that baby in and get the added 20% - 25% added life out of the full set of tires!!!
Also, flip that thing over to save the finish on those sweet beadlocks. Lowering the tire is no big deal to check tire pressures, and you might see something when down there that needs attention.
